S4.S1s4 for sixty-day bills and S4.s5H for
demand. The stock market was the dullest
to-day that has been seen for many weeks
and prices sagged nearly the whole day
through, though the final changes in but few
cases amount to more than small fractions
There was some expectations in bear circles

and European buying orders were fairly
plentiful in the forenoon. The demand was
not very heavy, however. though the selling
was equally light and the market soon be-
came extremely dull. and the traders dis
played disposition to realize on the long
side, which sagged the list off slowly, fiuctu-
ations being confined TO the narrowest limits,
while there was no special pressure to sell.
The news of the day was of a mixed char
acter, though advices from Chicago were
uniformly of a depressing nature, and the
operators in that city were prominent in the
selling movement. There were only two
stocks in which the extreme fuctuation ex-
ceeded per cent? Mon Pacific and New
England-but while the latter developed sud-
den weakness the former was specially
strong until the afternoon, when it gave
way with the remainder. Manhattan

Pacific was weak. The opening was some

extending to a per cent, and though there
was momentary heaviness in the early
trading, rally soon followed and frac
tional advances were established. The list
became very dull, however, and the slightest
gains were IN most cases lost before the end
of the first hour, after which prices slowly
sagged off. though Union Pacific and New
England were specially weak during the
afternoon. There was no change in the
market and it closed very dull at about the
the lowest prices reached. Closing prices
show irregular changes, but declines are in
majority, though Canadian Pacific with 1 6s

SHE MARRIED DAWES BOSS.
A Jealous Sweetheart's Ruse to
Cut Out His Wicked Rival.

A young cOuntryman who had long
loved a girl who lived mile or two
from him was nearly in despair about
winning her hand, and was on the eve
of selling out and leaving the country,
as the girl had refused him three times,
and it was out that she was engaged to
another fellow. Our hero, says the
Americus (Ga.) Republican, had noticed
that his rival and his girl would walk in
an old meadow field nearly every after
noon, and he grew madly jealous. In
his cattle he had young bull that was
always mad with everything but his
master, because he was an especial pet.
Now Dave, as he called the bull, was to
be the object with which to satiate his
revenge. He would turn him into
the meadow, hide himself and see his
rival tossed like a football. So, one
afternoon. calling to Dave, who would
follow him like dog, he repaired to the
meadow, let the fence down and turned
the bull in. He then StrOlled off, and
walked around as miserable as man
could be who was committing an evil
deed. An hour or so later he heard the
deep mutterings of the bull, and, hast
ening to the meadow fence. he saw
Dave about twenty yards from TIE
couple, paving dirt and shaking his
head. The man was trying to get the
girl to run. but she was so terrified that
she could not move. The bull made a
dash and the fellow ran shrieking for
the fence. The bull dashed on after the
flying fellow, while our disconsolate
young man, having jumped the fence,
rushed to the girl as the bull dashed on
after the fugitive rival, and, catching
her in his arms, told her that such a
coward was unworthy of her. AS Dave
saw his young master he left off pur-
suing the other man, returned and went
to licking his hand, while the indignant
girl vowed she would never more speak
to man that was afraid of cow.
She soon after married Dawes boss.

HUNTING FOR FROGS.
How the Crackers Are Speared
and Served up by EpicureS.

How the Crackers Are Speared
and Served up by Epicures.
Ever go frogging? No? Well, you
ought to 90. Talk about a deer.
They're no wilder than a ripe frog.
You have to be very cunning. | like
the early morning for spearing. Get
ting in a boat, am padded noiselessly
around the grassy shores of some lake,
where | find the the frogs blinking their
big watery eyes. just preparatory to
going to rest for the day. The frog is
a night bird, you know, and many per-
sons. especially those who hunt them for
market, go frOgging by lantern light.
Sometimes they wade along the shores
slowly, but the best way is to use boat
and jack light. You can go more Silly
and always have better success" says
the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The reporter dropped into popular
downtown restaurant few days later,
and just in time 10 hear gentleman i'll
sporting attire eXclaim:
"Ah, there, Charley? a dozen frogs
will be about my size to-day"
The reporter sought the chef.
"WhO eats frogs legS?" repeated
he. well. you see, the sporting people
are particularly fond of them; in fact,
they are eaten by Americans generally,
although it was originally French
dish, as we all know, and so distinct
lively so that France became popularity
styled the nation of frOg-eaterS. To
stigmatiZe Frenchman as frOg-eater
has come to be an ancestral chestnut.
Very few Germans will eat them. don't

the French. make so much of them.
Our Milwaukee frog supply is obtained
from the little lakes. marshes and creeks
over the state. and Wisconsin is a great
frog state. Just now the receipts of
hams are quite large from MuskegOn,
BoScobel and Prairie du Chen. The
supply is larger this year than last. but
it is still much short of the demand, as
so many people call for them. Big frog
legs measure from eight to ten inches
in length, and for this size we pay from
so cents to s1.20 dozen. We dish them
out at from S1.20 to $3.50 per dozen, and
fix them up so that seven legs make
dozen. AT this size they will run about
six legs to the pound. We pay from 35
to 80 cents dozen for the smaller ones,
them on the table. We are going to
have some monsters in tomorrow.
They are on their way, and wish you
would call in and see them"
''How do you prepare them?"
''There is only one way to dish up
frogs, and that is to fry them like oysters,
in batter of corn meal and eggs. They
mustn't be too well cooked, and, If just
right, more tempting dish was never
set before an epicure. They are such
delicacy too. Why, we have numerous
calls from invalids for frogs legs, who
say that such diet has been prescribed
by the attending physician. A sick
person can eat, enjoy and digest dish
of frogs when any other meat you might
name would produce almost mortal
agony or very harmful results"

LOCAL MARKETS.

sales were made, and those that were had to

local millers are not taking much wheat.
